Faculty: _geography_______________ Course: 1course_______________ Surname/Name:Shamsiddinov Amiriddin __________________ READING. Read the passage about student life at Canterbury College and do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage. Student life at Canterbury College 
Most of the courses at Canterbury College only take up four days of the week, leaving one day free for independent study. The atmosphere at the College is that of an adult environment where a relationship of mutual respect is encouraged between students and tutors. Canterbury is a student city with several institutes of Further and Higher Education. The city centre is just a five-minute walk from the College, easily accessible in lunch or study breaks. Canterbury College has developed strong international links over the years and, as a result, many students have the opportunity of visiting and working in a European country in the course of their studies. Students' Union and SRC All students are automatically members of the Canterbury College Students' Union (CCSU) and can attend meetings. The Union is very active and is run by an Executive Committee elected by students in the Autumn Term. The President is elected every Summer Term to provide continuity for the next academic year. Representatives from each area of study form the Student Representative Council (SRC) which allows every student a say in Union affairs. In addition to representing students internally in the College on the Academic Board and with a subcommittee of the College Corporation, the CCSU also belongs to the National Union of Students which represents the interests of students nationally. The Union also arranges and supports entertainments, sporting activities and trips. STUDENT FACILIITES Learning Resources Centre (LRC) The Corey Learning Resources Centre provides easy access to a wide range of printed and audiovisual learning materials which can help students with coursework. There is ample space for quiet independent study and there are also areas for group work. Resources provided include books, journals, audio and video cassettes and CD-ROMs. Inter-library loans are available locally and nationally via the British Library. All students are encouraged to use the Open Access Information Technology Centre situated on the first floor. This has a variety of computing, word processing and desktop publishing software. Bookshop A branch of Waterstone's bookshops is located on campus, where you can buy a range of stationery, drawing equipment, artists' materials and books, as well as many other useful items you may need. Children's Centre The College Children's Centre has places for under 5s with some subsidized places being available to students. Places are limited, so, if you are interested, apply early to reserve a place by contacting Linda Baker on the College telephone number. |

3. WRITING: Write a short essay on the topic “My ideal university” at least 150 words.
What is a university? In a literal sense, it is originated from the Old French word universite, and from Latin universitas meaning the whole', and in late Latin, society or guild'. It is also derived from the word, universus. So that might mean a place where a group of people with similar goal gather and pursue their studies; however, is that all? What about the whole' in a broader sense?.
First, let us ask ourselves, what do we expect from university? Or what do we expect to gain from the university life? Knowledge? A diploma? Fame? Money? What else? Isn't there something else that we can gain from 4 years of university life? Shouldn't education be something else? What is the purpose of education then?.
All of the above questions I attempt to answer but feel most feeble to do so. In order to probe into the question we have to go deep down into the root of it "what is education? The traditional Chinese system put it as a means to produce state servants, while Plato thought its ultimate goal was to train philosophy kings, rulers of state. But well before all these, what is there in the process?.
Modern education system perversely divides the universe into arts and science, and even worse, it now concentrates more on management, information technology, and finance. The traditional humanities and classics studies have gone altogether with the short-lived natural and physical sciences. They are no more important, in a sense that they can't earn as much as the others, that they have no value' in the demoralised modern world. A hundred years ago Matthew Arnold and Thomas Huxley argued over the subject of introducing pure scientific studies into schools, and today this issue seems stupid enough when compared to the excessively flourishing new disciplines' like advertising, business administration, marketing, or tourism "only if they can be classified as disciplines at all. If the foremost purpose of education is to help students solve the myths of this very universe, then what they solve is most likely to be the mystic power of being practical.
